Dunlap and Poletiek, stroke play medalists all three years of the Oregon Four-Ball, began the day by defeating Trevor Harding and Robbie Ziegler in the morning’s semifinals. Their competitors in the afternoon’s championship match were the side of Ryan Duval & Clare Langford (Bend, Ore.). Both representing Central Oregon during the event, Langford advanced to last year’s Four-Ball final match as well, with playing partner Ryan DeCastilhos.

The final match in the Open division was all-square after 18 holes, with Dunlap and Langford matching birdie putts on the par-5 18th. The match continued another five holes, until Langford missed a par putt and Dunlap’s par was conceded. The championship match went 23 holes, in total.
Dunlap and Poletiek reached the finals in 2016, and the quarterfinals a year ago. After being the No. 1 seed in match play all three years of the tournament’s existence, the pair finally have an Oregon Four-Ball victory.

In the Women’s final, Peterson and Swanson were competing against their former college coach at Portland State, Kailin Downs, and her playing partner Amy Anderson (Oregon City/Bend, Ore.). The two were attempting to win a second-consecutive title.

Peterson and Swanson jumped out to a 3-up lead after three holes and never looked back. The side was 3-up after nine holes and won the next four holes to close out to match, 7&5. It’s the second OGA Championship win for both players; Peterson won the 2016 Oregon Women’s Amateur, while Swanson was victorious at the 2016 Oregon Women’s Stroke Play.
The side of Barricklow and Schwerzler played Ron Hop & Alan Plusquellec (Dayton/Sherwood, Ore.) in the Senior Men’s final match. After birdieing three of the first eight holes, Barricklow and Schwerzler jumped out to a 3-up lead after nine holes.

The lead was cut to 2-up after Hop birdied the 14th hole, but back-to-back birdies by Schwerzler on Nos. 15 and 16 closed out the match for the duo, 3&2.
